What happens here

The presenter then moves to the blue Solectrac 25G electric tractor. He states that it is a 350-ampere-hour electric tractor, also rated at 25 horsepower. He shows the charging port, which can accept either 110-volt or 220-volt input. The charging times are specified: approximately 8 hours for a full charge from 10% ('limp mode') using a 240V connection, and around 12 hours with 120V. He emphasizes that this tractor is charged entirely off-grid using a dedicated solar panel system. A significant highlight is the projected lifespan of the electric motor, stated to be 80,000 hours, which he contrasts with the 4,000-10,000 hours for the diesel engine. The electric tractor is heavier than the diesel counterpart, offering increased stability for lifting. When the tractor is powered on, its silent operation is immediately noticeable, only producing a slight hum. A key safety and efficiency feature is its automatic shutdown after about 20 seconds of inactivity, stopping energy consumption.

Goal: This step details the features of the Solectrac 25G electric tractor, including its electrical specifications, charging process, comparison of motor lifespan to diesel, and its silent operation.

Yanmar diesel engine both are 25 horsepower they're both rated at 25 horsepower this one has the optional backhoe attachment on here and we're looking at about a twenty two thousand five hundred dollar machine right here that's about how much this tractor cost outfitted just like this with the loader and the backhoe so again this is a 25 horsepower Yanmar diesel the exhaust comes out right there you put the fuel in right here okay these this is the operator station got plenty of room it's a hydrostatic tractor so Mash one pedal go forward Mash one Pedal Go backwards this is the controller for our loader arm pretty simple two-wheel drive four-wheel drive operation PTO if we take off the backhoe we can run any Implement that that tractor will run with this and we can tug and Tow and do all kinds of stuff this right here is called a cool tops and this cool top blows cool air down on the operator okay the lift capacities are pretty similar here but the select track is a little bit heavier of a tractor so it's a little more stable lifting heavy weight okay so let's think about this we've got diesel put diesel in here in the Anmar diesel engine the lifespan according to the internet on a Yanmar diesel engine a 25 horsepower engine like this is anywhere from four to ten thousand hours depending on how good you take care of it the lifespan of the electric motors in the selectrak tractor is claimed to be eighty thousand hours eighty thousand hours versus up to
